I'm the same way; however, when it comes to Frye, the plus and minuses are very interesting. For even when I think he has a bad game, he somehow still manages to have the best plus on the team. It's consistent, and as Los has pointed out, it's been over a five year period. With that much data, the sample size is good enough to come to the conclusion that the Suns are better when Frye is on the court.

So all hate aside (for I really don't like UofA or their players), the data rules in this case. As for Tucker, how does the eye test not satisfy? :o

Either way, Hornacek trusts both if these players, and feels that they perform best starting.


And Hornacek has proven to be worthy of our trust. At least more than some perpetual shitkickers here.
